 OR
 $this->helper(’core’)->getStoreId();

Install Magento in Ubuntu

To install magento in Ubuntu, first Open the terminal to run the commands.
Navigate to the directory (Inside www folder) where you need to install Magento.

$ cd /var/www 

Download magento 1.7.0.0 files by using the following command:

$ wget http://www.magentocommerce.com/downloads/assets/1.7.0.0/magento-1.7.0.0-alpha1.tar.gz

After the downloading process completes, just decompress the downloaded file:

$ tar -zxvf magento-1.7.0.0-alpha1.tar.gz

Now you can find a new folder “magento”. Just get into it.

$cd magento

Then set permissions for some folders like media, var and app/etc to 777:

$ chmod -R 777 media var
$ chmod 777 app/etc
